on page 12 of this 2005 european union document

enp/pdf/country/egypt_cr_0503.pdf
it says of egypt as follows
border management is enforced by the border guard
force
a department of the ministry of the interior with
12000 personnel
& by the coast guard under the navy with manpower of
about 2000
border demarcation with libya was defined by the 1925
& 1926 italian egyptian agreement
& the 1934 british egyptian agreement
a border dispute still exists with sudan
so the implication is
there is not yet a border agreement nor any actual
border demarcation with sudan
&
the egsd sign at 22x27 could easily have been the
unilateral handiwork of this very
border guard force
one quibble tho is that the mentioned 1934 eggb
agreement should rather be eggbit
for this is just the trilateral rome agreement i have
been so hotly pursuing
but they can be forgiven for having forgotten that
little detail
while also being trusted for having the overall
picture essentially correct
but meanwhile
in pursuit of that very 1934 eggbit
i stumbled on the mother of all treaty collections
here
http://157.150.195.4/LibertyIMS::/sid67umH7V2SQH6wvB9/cmd%3DXmlGetWebPage%3BCmdFile%3Dtoppage%2Ecmd
so bookmark that baby for sure
& from there i soon landed here
http://157.150.195.4/LibertyIMS::/sid67umH7V2SQH6wvB9/Cmd%3DXmlGetRequest%3BName%3D%2364%3BNoUI%3D1%3BF0%3D155%3BF1%3DEnglish/French%3BF2%3D3567%3BF3%3D45%3Bstyle%3DXmlPageViewer%2Exsl
which is the full text of the very 1934 eggbit
which evidently never had any maps annexed
whether datumized or otherwise
& also mentions no datum in the text
so we are back to square zero on that
hahahahaha
told you we were whaling in mirage country here mateys
but at least we still do have ishmael i mean mohamed
to look forward to
plus the vanishing chance of somehow still finding as
well as somehow collating the egly & lysd datums if
any
which i will also begin running to ground at the above
united nations treaty site
as soon as i post this much
but lets face it now
eglysd is already looking very much like a default to
wgs84
